Verizon Throws Down the Gauntlet
Posted on November 9, 2009 in Miscellaneous, Videos by Jon Rettinger
Remember when you were a kid, and you had a crush on a girl? You’d throw dirt clods at her and call her names, all the while you secretly wanted her to like you? It’s no secret Verizon has ‘like liked’ the iPhone ever since CuperTino’s finest started setting record sales numbers. Much like those

Motorola Droid Review (on Verizon)
Posted on November 9, 2009 in Phones, Videos by Jon Rettinger
Few devices not beginning with the letter i have received the hype of the Motorola Droid. We’ve had Verizon’s flagship handset in our hands for about two weeks now, and in that time, we’ve run it through some rigorous tests. We’ve covered the operating system, turn-by-turn navigation, and compared it to the iPhone 3GS and
Three Ways Improve Your Netbook Experience
Posted on November 8, 2009 in Laptops and Netbooks by Jon Rettinger
Netbooks are quite the phenomenon and represent the fastest growing segment of the PC market. For those of you that have made the move to these ultraportables, you are no doubt beginning to see their limitations, most of which are often attributed to the Atom processor, but that little guy can be quite powerful, if

He’s known best for his console wars series and Finnish accent, but LP is much more. As you start to see his content more regularly on TechnoBuffalo, I thought it was important you got to know the man. So, meet LP!
Get Places with Google Maps Navigation
Posted on November 6, 2009 in Android, Videos by Jon Rettinger
I’m not going to lie, I have an awful sense of direction. I get lost going to the bathroom. The only places I can really get to, without any difficulty is my house, my fiance’s home, and my parents house where I grew up. That’s it. Three places. I don’t make this admission out of

Network Speed Test: AT&T vs. Verizon vs. T-Mobile
Posted on November 5, 2009 in Comparisons, Videos by Jon Rettinger
With all the carrier mudslinging going around recently, it’s easy to lose track of what matters most when it comes to mobile devices. Network strength where you live/work and speed. While I can’t go to each of your houses individually and test the signal (although that would be quite fun) I can compare the 3G
Android 2.0 Overview on the Verizon Droid
Posted on November 4, 2009 in Android, Phones, Videos by Jon Rettinger
When Android first hit the scene, many agreed that it had a somewhat unfinished feel. Versions 1.5 and 1.6 helped to round out the functionality of the new mobile operating system, and now with 2.0, there are many added features and interface changes that makes Android quite compelling. In this video we take a look

Posted on November 4, 2009 in Internet, Videos, Web Apps by Jon Rettinger

In summary: it’s a real-time collaboration tool that brings together various forms of electronic communication. It’s also an open platform so that developers can create extensions and applications to
Motorola Droid Vs. BlackBerry Storm 2

Verizon Wireless has some heavyweights ready to duke it out for your hard earned money (and two years of your cellular life). We put the hottest handsets Big Red has to offer through a series of tests including browser speed, navigation, and text entry. Whose corner are you in?
BlackBerry Storm 2 vs. Storm 1
Posted on November 3, 2009 in Hardware, Phones, Videos by Jon Rettinger
The most notable (and hated) feature of the original BlackBerry Storm was its SurePress screen. Many users complained that the keyboard input was inaccurate as a result of the SurePress sensor because it required the user to type each key slower, as to allow the screen to pop back up after each depression. Another big

Tour of Android 2.0 on the Motorola Droid
Posted on October 26, 2009 in Android, Phones, Videos by Jon Rettinger
Android could always hang with the big boys (RIM, Apple, Microsoft, and Nokia) in terms of functionality, but it was lacking a polished user interface. Android 2.0 not only catches Google’s baby up to the rest, in many ways it zooms past them. But, don’t take our word for it. Take a tour of Android
Windows 7: Like Vista, but Better

Windows XP had been a runaway success. It had been adopted by home users and system admins around the world. By the time January 2007 rolled around hype was growing for XP’s successor, Windows Vista. Touting an improved Media Center, glassy smooth UI, and supposedly rock solid security, Vista looked primed to seamlessly take the
